The Corsair XENEON FLEX is fantastic for gaming. It has a high 240Hz refresh rate for a smooth gaming experience. Its response time is near-instantaneous, resulting in minimal motion blur, and it also has low input lag for a responsive feel, but it increases at lower refresh rates. It even has FreeSync VRR support and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing, and its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth lets you take full advantage of high-end graphics cards and gaming consoles. Lastly, it's a fantastic choice for dark room gaming as it displays deep and inky blacks in the dark, and there isn't any blooming around bright objects either.

The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED is by no means perfect. The bending mechanism still feels clunky, and for an expensive piece of kit, there are things you can’t do here – limitations largely caused by its bendable nature. HDR10 support is also disappointing. However, if a truly versatile and immersive gaming monitor with gorgeous picture quality and rich colors is what you’re seeking, this is worth it. That is, you can afford it.

The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 is a PC gaming monitor from the future. LG’s gorgeous 240Hz OLED packs a killer combination of contrast and motion performance that will be hard to beat through 2023. Cutting-edge tech often comes with a catch, however, and the Xeneon Flex is no exception. The flexible display’s operation could be (much) smoother, and it’s permanently attached to a mediocre monitor stand. It’s pricey, too, at $2,000. These problems stop Corsair short of sweeping its competition, but it remains an impressive display, and it’s a good pick for ultrawide fans who think 34-inch and 38-inch monitors are too small.
